tournesol74 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Hi from France, [color=#282828][font=Helvetica]Lovely example of W&T artistry... A [/font][/color][font=Helvetica]Zoid[/font][color=#282828][font=Helvetica] 5er that I got in a trade with BassCell (What a bass player !) a few months back. Fully loaded and with a beautiful front and back, and several luxury details. It is a fantastic bass for any style, but imo it especially shines on fingerstyle jazzy stuff. The bass exudes quality and it is mint - no dings, no scratches, nothing. It is a bit atypical in that it combines 26 frets with a 33" scale. I find it very comfortable and the tone is to die for - those Bassculture PUs are really something ! The passive option is great, the eq very flexible and there's switches and wheels in the control cavity to select frequencies. Access to the upper frets is excellent.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=Helvetica]Price is 1330 £ shipping include[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=Helvetica]Specs:[/font][/color] [font=Helvetica]Zoid[/font][color=#282828][font=Helvetica] 5-string neckthrough.

Dazed Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I like this Holly top everytime I see it come up. Another great bass that seems to do the rounds on BC. One day I will have Zoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Great bass, this. The pickups really are fantastic This bass sounded almost better for me in passive mode, but the preamp in any case is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Coffee Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I love these. Such a great looking bass. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) I've loved this bass ever since it first came up for sale; it's one of the last instruments I've really wanted but have never owned. Sadly it always comes up when I don't have enough money available. Does it still have the ramp? GLWTS! Edited November 25, 2014 by 4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliusmonk Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 As a previous owner, I can certify that this bass is awesome, and I also thought it was especially good in passive mode. The holly top is jawdropping in the flesh! Glwts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
